Oh that’s not entirely true. Putin has shifted the goalposts so many times now that his objectives can be whatever he wants them to be. This way he can never fail to meet them. Failed push to Kyiv? No stupid westoids, he just wanted to show that he could absolutely take it if he wanted to and only withdrew as a sign of good will. Kherson? Never heard of her. Bakhmut? Only took them a year to take and basically lost the ukrops the war which we will totally see any day now. Just trust the Führer
